But with the weather being a climate and all, I only managed to collect a bit over 10 hours on the H-α channel and that was it. Winter kicked in cold and early that year and there no more usable nights around here until the following April, nearly six months later. And by then, the nebula, along with the entire Auriga constellation was long gone from my skies and would not return until autumn.
So all we have so far is a bunch of monochrome H-α data, the results of which are as shown above.
